On an 06 black z

ricey or not? opinions?

 

i wouldn't

 

paint them black if your going to.

 

yip black is good..

 

I was thinkin the same but I don't know what color.

 

GTI's got red ones and they don't look bad. By bad I mean rice-like.

 

Paint them if you want to. There have already been enough threads of people asking whether painted calipers are ricey or not. Obviously they are going to get a mixed response.

The logical thing to do is look at cars that have painted calipers, try to gauge how good of a job you would do, and make your decision from there.

 

good call, anyone have pics of their stock ones painted?

 

do it black, unless you have a BBK. I had the small ugly brakes so my goal was to hide them as much as possible. I posted pictures on here somewhere.

 

Just a couple previous threads on ther topic of painting calipers, including some pics:

There are many, many others as well.

 

yup....always bet on black.

 

I think a bright silver might look good too. Nothing to be ashamed of with the stock brakes....they stop the car at least.

 

rule of thumb, if you have to ask, then it probably is ricey...

 

+1

 

Screw what other people think, and paint them if you like it. I think red on black looks badass, check out brandonanix's car for an idea of how it will look. Most of the people here with BBK are posers anyway, that don't even track there car or have a need for them. Why spend $3k on something just because it looks cool? You don't really get benefit out of them unless you track your car, I'd guess 99% of people have never even experienced brake fade on the street.

 

LOL. The more i think about this statement, the more it's true.

 

red looks perfect on a black z. Don't worry about the bonerhead hatas.

 

Never been a fan.
